Confession Thursday–PORN or POTM

It’s confession Thursday and I’m feeling extra nostalgic about my old Catholic school days this week since I visited my old church at Susan’s wedding this weekend.

Yep, just like I remember it

Confession #1: I am hogging all the eggs in our house! I cannot get enough of them lately and Ben loves them too, but he keeps getting yogurt for breakfast. That’s odd…

Confession #2: I skipped my run because I was supposed to try out a new boot camp this morning and didn’t want to be too tired (and look like a loser).

A lady at the boot camp asked if I had just ran that half marathon (referencing my shirt). To me the Arizona RnR Half was a year ago, so I said “yes, last year”. She pointed out that the shirt said 2011 and I looked like I didn’t know what year it is. I kinda don’t.

After the boot camp my Catholic guilt caught up with me and I ran/walked 3 miles when I got home. I do feel better now

Confession #3: I am pretty sure the persimmons I’ve been eating all week are not even close to being ripe.

Confession #4: I’ve been eating those fried onion things for green bean casserole like chips. I am not positive on this one, but I’m pretty sure that’s the most unhealthy thing one can consume.

Confession #5: I’m almost out of gas from my Soda Stream!!! I have been drinking seltzer like it’s water

Confession #6: Oddly, there are always raisins on the floor of my car. This may be caused by my favorite driving snack…

Confession #7: . Kim tweeted that auto correct changed #POTM to #PORN and now I’m trying to thing of a good #PORN challenge for January. Twitter amuses me more than blogs sometimes

Haha, umm I’ll go to SanFran for you! ;D I always do that. I think something happened SO long ago when it wasn’t! Confession for me? I went for a sweaty run a few hours ago and still have not changed or showered. Yum.

There are TWO types of persimmons and look similar but are pretty different fruits.
The fuyu persimmon is the kind Monica has pictured above. Its texture is like an apple, crisp and crunchy. They don’t soften up that much over time.
The hachiya persimmon is what wymberley is referring to. It has more of a pointy bottom and is super astringent if you eat it before its fully ripe. When its fully ripe it will be really squishy (like an over-ripe tomato) and you can eat it with a spoon.
I love both kinds!! The fuyu kind is definitely less messy to eat though!

i have been loving persimmons, too except they remind me of tomatoes while i’m eating them … weird.

also lol at #porn … i am really glad you’re doing the POTM… i’ve been forcing myself to get out more during the week, and i have noticed my stress levels are more manageable when i exercise that much more.

I have made so much lemon setzer on my soda stream that I think I smell like California. Also, I ate enough spicy Chinese vegetables for lunch, I think my hubs may never come near me again. I hope the lemon wins the battle of the breath.

So I recently bought a new car and upon cleaning out my old car of almost 10 years I definitely found a few raisins. It’s a rule that at least 1/2 of a vine of grapes get consumed in the car on the way home from trader joes.

Bahahaha. PORN. That’s so great. Whoopss. And I’m right there with you with the couch and House Hunters idea. Ok, the international one makes me green with envy. Do that many people have a vacation house in the freakin Caribbean. Guess I’ll live vicariously through HGTV…

Confession – I ate a persimmon yesterday and hated it. It was really dry and chalky in texture. I so wanted to love it. Do you think it’s underripe? I just have no idea if that’s the way it’s supposed to taste but have no idea since it was my first one (other than in the guac I told you about last week).

I have grounded myself from peanut butter this week. I’m running my first marathon this weekend and I have no self control with any nut butter and end up eating a whole jar in less than three days and didn’t want to feel like ish come marathon time! But next week…bring it on.

My persimmons have been oddly off-color too. I don’t eat them all that often so I honestly can’t tell if they taste unripe

And honestly those fried onion things are one of my favorite things at Thanksgiving. I always offer to help with the green bean casserole so I can get my hands into the fried onion can. My family is lucky if more than half make it onto the casserole!

Umm, it’s really not cold at all here in SF. You’ll need a jacket at night but during the day it’s nice. I saw showers are predicted during the day tomorrow but on no account do you need your winter woollies, just the usual dressing in layers you always need for SF.

Being former SoCal girl myself its, any time its in the 60s or below I think its FREEZING!!!! Bring a jacket for this weekend, its supposed to rain up here in SF (well I’m in the East Bay but close enough :))

Hahaha!! You just made my day. I not only made the confession Thursday blog but the title too!! I was so embarrassed when I realized I tweeted about doing porn on the treadmill while watching my HOKIES play. Aye!!!

Well I’m about to head to the gym for a repeat tweet of last week…Hokie football + treadmill + #POTM

ridiculous confession: i bought 100 single-serve packs of biscoff spread. they have basically no nutritional value. yet it is only a matter of time before i eat all of them. with a spoon. i had to do some mental reframing (ha, i’m not even making that up) this morning to not go for seconds … lawl.

My confession: I sat in the bathroom pulling random eyebrows out for 45 minutes (yes I still have some left) convincing myself to go for a run. One other one: After about 2PM at work I did nothing but look at running/fitness/healthy living blogs and finally bailed at 5, half hour early. SO was not in a working mood today.

I used to make a canned fried onion, mayo, and cheddar cheese sammie in high school, ok and maybe once or twice in college too. I am SURE that makes it worse than eating them plain from the can. I could have at least added some lettuce or something.
